NOTE:The streets to the east of Tower Hill have been under siege from the ever encroaching office buildings of the city over the past decade, yet there are still some hidden surprises. This pub is one of them. Most other pubs in the area have either been displaced by trendy chain bars or have aped them. This place retains the comfortable dark ambience of a traditional English pub and has a relaxed, easy-going ambience. There were three ales available on our visit: London Pride, Adnams and a third whose name we can’t remember. The food menu juxtaposes traditional English pub grub with Thai food and the prices seemed to be good value for this part of London. The clientele were a curious mix of regulars and local office workers but everybody seemed to get along well. Open at weekends – which probably explains the regulars.
